Bruce Ballenger
Dear Bruce,
In our WRA 140 class we have been using your book to learn more on how to research. For today's class we had to complete reading the second chapter and i found it very useful when searching online. The activity was to search online for transgressions in other cultures, fist i tried it my way to search very general and i got no where. The i used the techniques that you discuss in your book and i found everything i needed to find. In our project that we are working on now i think that your research tips will benefit me greatly. Although the type of class this is, doesn't quite include too much researching so it is not completely relevant, but this project includes a small amount of research, not sure how yet because Madhu, our teacher has not explained it yet. It is unfortunate that my college writing class does not include research because i think it would be beneficial to my future and in my career. But in the future at this University and beyond i will use the information that i have gathered from reading your book to write papers and research topics.
Thank you,
Risa Juliano

thursdays class
On thursday in class we discussed transgression and resistance and how they relate to each other. Transgression is going against the social norms that are set by society. It is going against what majority would expect. Resistance in the case that we talked about is those who don't want to transgress and want to stay in line with the norms. In order to have resistance there has to be a set something for people to resist.

Rhetoric is using knowledge and information that is true or untrue to persuade and audience. From the videos, transgressions are rhetoric because they are "unanswered", they go against the norm and make people change their minds or not change their minds therefore producing knowledge. Transgressions are anything out of the norm, it can be personal or social norms that are conflicted. In a personal sense, a transgression of not playing on your computer for a day could be a transgression. Socially, a transgression could be coming out or screaming in a library, people just don't do it.
